The new London Greeters are volunteer residents who want to share their passion and knowledge of their local area with visitors to the city, at no charge. The London Greeters have been created to showcase neighbourhoods in London that are often over-looked by visitors and to offer them the unique experience of a locals' knowledge and introduction to what makes London a vibrant and exciting place to visit. Part of the Global Greeter Network, the London Greeters share the core values of this service; to be volunteers, inclusive and above all free.

If you have a special interest we can match you with a London Greeter who shares that interest; whether you want to learn more about local history, infamous residents, culture, sport, architecture or art, or to explore the many markets - take advantage of their knowledge and passion and discover something new about London.

London Greeters can take you to the following areas:

Camden - from the vibrancy of Camden Lock Market to the relaxed villages of Hampstead and Primrose Hill, whilst the cultural heart of London beats in Bloomsbury where you will find the British Library, British Museum and less well-known Gagosian Gallery amongst many other places. Camden is a delight, and so easy to get to, by tube, bus, bicycle or car. Check out Love Camden for a whole lot more information
